safety differently: an audience with Sidney Dekker
Learn why conventional approaches to safety and human factors are no longer equipped to cope with today’s fast-moving world of work. Evolve your Safety Differently knowledge and apply it successfully to your unique situation.
what is safety differently?
The world of work is changing fast and this new era calls for a different kind of safety thinking, a thinking that sees people as the source of diversity, insight, creativity, and wisdom about safety, not as the source of risk that undermines an otherwise safe system.
It requires a mindset that is more inclined to trust people than bureaucracy, and that is more interested in preventing harm than making a good first impression.
Safety Differently, embraced by multiple top tier organizations globally, offers a compelling alternative to the bureaucratisation and compliance of both safety and work. It sees people, not as a problem to control, but as a resource to harness.
Safety Differently defers to expertise - not telling people what to do, but instead asking them what they need to be successful.
